Just three days ago (5/27), I wrote about the Republicans' filibuster that killed the veterans benefits bill in February. One of the reasons given by one Republican senator was: "This is not a time to spend money we don't have."
Yet yesterday, the Republican-led House Ways and Means Committee advanced a bill of tax breaks that would add $304 billion to the deficit over 10 years. This was in addition to the $310 billion in tax loopholes they voted for last month.
Republicans thus want to add $614 billion dollars in tax breaks to the deficit -- but can't find the $24 billion to take care of our veterans. And then they blame the Obama administration for not taking better care of our veterans.
Despicable hypocrisy !!
